Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients discovered with peripheral lung nodules that have demonstrated to be non-small cell lung cancer by pathology with the clinical stage of IA.
  • The tumors are solid or part-solid peripheral lung nodules and the length-diameter of the nodules are more than 10 mm and no more than 30 mm.
  • Patients are unsuitable for surgery assessed by multi-modality treatment and agree to the primary treatment of ablation.
  • Patients have good compliance and sign the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Patients cannot receive bronchoscopy for the severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction and other indications.
  • Patients have contraindications of general anesthesia.
  • Chest CT suggests that navigation bronchoscopy technology cannot guide treatment equipment to reach the peripheral lung lesion.
  • Chest CT or bronchoscopy shows that the bronchial lumen occlusion or deformation leading to the guided and treatment equipment cannot reach the peripheral lung lesion.
  • There are large blood vessels or important structures adjacent to peripheral lung lesion.
  • Researchers consider the patient do not fit for the study.

About this study

Official title: The Clinical Study of Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) Guided Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for the Treatment of Early-stage Peripheral Lung Cancer

The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of early-stage peripheral lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ENB guided RFA for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is designed as a single-center prospective trial with one arm. The participating centers are Department of pulmonary medicine and endoscopy, Shanghai Chest Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. Patients diagnosed with early-stage NSCLC will be enrolled into the study. Fifty patients are expected to be enrolled totally.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RFAProcedure or surgery

    Patients diagnosed with early-stage NSCLC and signing the informed consent will be performed RFA under the guidance of ENB.

  • ENBDevice

    ENB will be used to guide bronchoscope into the accurate location of the lesion during RFA.

Study groups in NCT03009630
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RFA groupExperimentalPatients with early-stage peripheral lung cancer will be performed RFA with the guidance of ENB. Post treatment response and follow up will be evaluated and carried out according to the standard procedure.
Receives: Procedure: RFA; Device: ENB

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective response rate(ORR)of participants as assessed by the modified RECIST criteria

    Objective response rate(ORR) is the proportion of patients with complete responses and partial responses according to the modified RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Three months after ablation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS) of participants

    Disease progression is evaluated by the variation of the tumor on computed tomography (CT) and/or positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) according to modified RECIST criteria.

    Measured: From the time of treatment to the time of disease progression or death with a follow-up period of 3 years

  2. Overall survival(OS)of participants

    Overall survival(OS) is evaluated after the treatment of ablation until the patient death.

    Measured: From the time of treatment to the time of the patient death with a follow-up period of 5 years

Objective response rate(ORR)of participants as assessed by the modified RECIST criteria (time frame: Three months after ablation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03009630, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
